Description
When you step on that brake pedal and it feels loose or doesn’t grab like it used to, the problem might not be your shoes or hydraulics—it could be a worn brake rod. This lower hand brake rod connects your rocker lever to the brake shaft, and when it gets bent, worn, or sloppy from years of use, your whole braking system feels unpredictable. A solid brake rod means confident stops when you’re heading down a hill with a loaded wagon behind you.
What You’re Getting
- Lower rod specifically designed to connect the rocker lever to your brake shaft
- Proper length and thread specifications for reliable brake pedal response
- Manufactured to handle the forces of heavy braking without bending or breaking
- Direct replacement that restores your brake system’s mechanical advantage
Built for Real Farm Work
This rod fits the reliable Massey Ferguson 100 and 200 series tractors—the 165, 168, 175, 178, 188, 240, 250, 265, 275, and 290 models that have been the backbone of farming operations for decades. Whether you’re using your 168 for loader work, running a 250 in the hay field, or pulling heavy implements with a 290, consistent brake response keeps you safe and productive.
Made to Last
Farm work puts serious stress on brake components, especially when you’re working hills or handling heavy loads. This rod is built to handle the repeated compression and extension cycles that come with daily operation, maintaining proper adjustment and feel season after season.
Installation Notes
This is the lower rod—there’s also an upper rod (part 62360) if you’re rebuilding the whole brake linkage. Check both rods while you’re at it, since they usually wear together. A little grease on the pivot points during installation helps everything work smoothly and last longer.
